When itis desired to use the muffler and protectors, the cap,- is drawnfarther upon the head., so that a slot in the front of the cap isopposite the eyes, and the face pro` tector is turned downwardly, asshown in Figs. 4 and 5. The protector 2, for the and the'muftler tabsdrawn forwardly, covends of the face protector, and confining the sameto the face, and thence are drawn downwardly beneath the chin andbuttoned inplace, thus firmly securing the cap in head and nek, and alsoaffording a. protective covering for the front portion of the chest.

Of course, if desired, any suitable attach ing means may be provided forengaging the face protector to the forward edges of to those beforedescribed. Ordinarily, the cap is made of a' suflicient depth to permitthe sameto. be drawn somewhat further upon the head when the muffler andprotectors are in use, andfor the purpose of confining, the

slightly reduced or restricted by the mufHer pad when drawn rearwardlyand attached upon the button therefor at the rear and sides ofthe cap.Whether constructed of crocheted or knitted fabric or any other materialor fabric, it is desirable that the material affording the protector 2,for the back of the head, be sufiiciently elastic in parts to permitthe' same to conform to the and back of the neck ily wit-houtdiscqmfortto the wearer.
